I want to like it but the last time I tried to play the game, it tried to kill my computer. Have they optimized it at all?

Depends a little. It definitely does work on lower end PCs. But if you crank everything to max settings you will struggle on most PCs. When you are CPU limited try the new Vulkan implementation. While it's not fully implemented it does already use less CPU.

I will try that, thank you.

It depends on when you last played it. A few updates ago they improved performance a ton, but its still rough sometimes, especially if you have 16gb or less RAM.

Oh it was a couple years ago at this point. I'll give it another shot.

Nah, didn't get better. And never, I say NEVER, land on Crusader with anything but a supercomputer. You won't be able to escape :D

Sigh, this is actually what tried to kill my computer. I literally had to hold the power button down to stop whatever SC was doing to it.
